In the operation room, Rao Beichen briefly explained the mobile castle and his own abilities to Wen Shangqi.
Wen Shangqi also learned about his current location, a house that could move according to the builder's will.
Rao Beichen finished explaining to Wen Shangqi and looked at him, "You have one night to consider. It's not too late to give me your answer at breakfast tomorrow."
Might makes right. Although Rao Beichen didn't know what Wen Shangqi's ability was, he could sense that he was very strong.
Such a formidable opponent, if he could become a teammate in the apocalypse, would be a good choice.
Wen Shangqi looked at Rao Beichen, he smiled, but his eyes didn't reach his smile, making him look rather aloof, "You trust me this much?"
"Trust built as business partners before the apocalypse." Rao Beichen didn't hide anything, telling the truth, "Moreover, since I've chosen to be upfront with you, it means I have absolute confidence in myself."
Wen Shangqi looked at Rao Beichen speechlessly for a long time. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Confidence is a good thing, but not in the apocalypse."
After saying this, Wen Shangqi asked, "Do you know what my ability is?"
Hearing this, Rao Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Speak."
"Devour." After revealing his ability, Wen Shangqi explained to Rao Beichen casually, "In other words, if I wish, your ability can become mine."
This could be considered an ability that surpassed all others, very powerful, and very insidious.
Because its existence was built upon absorbing and devouring the abilities of other ability users.
This placed a great test on the humanity and conscience of the person who possessed this ability.
In the face of human greed, few survivors could resist the urge to claim any desirable ability they encountered.
Rao Beichen's breathing noticeably changed when he heard Wen Shangqi mention his ability, but he quickly adjusted.
"Have you used it?" Rao Beichen looked at Wen Shangqi and asked this question.
"Of course, I have." Wen Shangqi sat on the chair, not hiding it from Rao Beichen, "Otherwise, do you think I could escape death if tanks fired at me and people shot at me without using it?"
Wen Shangqi's words reminded Rao Beichen of the bloody scenes he had witnessed on the road.
Within a radius of ten miles, there was not a single intact area, blood flowed like rivers, and scattered limbs, remains, and weapon parts littered the ground...
He didn't ask, but he already knew it was Wen Shangqi's doing.
Defeating an army with well-equipped and sufficient manpower single-handedly proved his strength.
After Wen Shangqi declared his ability, Rao Beichen fell into a brief silence, then he spoke, "What are your thoughts?"
He thought he didn't need to wait until tomorrow.
Wen Shangqi admired Rao Beichen, just as he had before the apocalypse. He was also straightforward, "Together."
Upon receiving Wen Shangqi's reply, Rao Beichen smiled. He hadn't expected that after traveling north, his destination would still be in the south.
He wondered if he could meet Su Ling and the others again if he went back.
Thinking of Su Ling, Rao Beichen suddenly looked at Wen Shangqi. The latter was about to leave. Sensing the gaze, he stopped and tilted his head, asking, "What is it?"
Meeting Wen Shangqi's probing gaze, Rao Beichen said, "I want to ask you something."
"Ask."
"Do you know a girl named Su Ling?"
"I don't know." After Wen Shangqi replied to Rao Beichen, he then asked, "What about her?"
Seeing that Wen Shangqi didn't seem to be lying, Rao Beichen didn't press further, only saying, "Her ability is the same as mine, but stronger. Also, she's looking for a man named Shang Qi."
"What does she look like?"
